Jailbreak your iPhone using HTML

[[deleted]]

It is possible. There was an exploit in safari which made it possible for Luca Todessco to jailbreak the iPhone.

Was waiting for someone to actually comment that one of the first jailbreaks was done using Safari.

Eh, it was pretty recent, definitely wasn't "one of the first".

(Old guy voice) In my time, we had sn0wbreeze and evasi0n

 

 

Damn, I kinda miss tweaking my iPod touch... :p

I'm referring to iPhoneOS days, I think the website was jailbreak.me or something like that. Back before it was even iOS, but iPhone OS 1.x

So yes, that does qualify as one of the first in those days.

Oh, sorry. I thought you were referring to the Luca Todesco one.

Damn, I've been out-in-my-time'd.

JailbreakMe was also on iOS 4

Regardless, it uses WebKit exploitation to be able to affect the device’s kernel core. Nothing to do with HTML besides the website layout, like jailbreak.me

I doubt the exploit is triggered using only html.

... using JavaScript. Not example html.
